STANDARDS FOR CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION (CIP) - THE CONTRIBUTION OF ERNCIP

The European Reference Network for Critical Infrastructure Protection (ERNCIP) is the cornerstone of a holistic Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) design and program, by research towards the standardization and harmonization for the European competitiveness. The lack of standards, norms and methodologies for critical infrastructures in Europe clearly supports this argument in contrary to the plethora of existing on the other side of the Atlantic. Risk assessment, Safety, Security, Resilience plans and tools are indispensable in order to identify threats, assess vulnerabilities and evaluate the impact on assets, infrastructures or systems taking into account the probability of the occurrence of these threats. The ERNCIP Office via their elements like the Thematic Areas, Thematic Groups and Inventory supports the crucial European efforts for the Critical Infrastructure Protection. The paper closes with a review of what established and accomplished until now as well as with a look at the future of ERNCIP.
